I’ve had to expend a lot of effort over the years to look at exactly what’s in those blobs to figure out the right formats, and sometimes write my own code to parse/generate them. (Apple’s code doesn’t support a lot of the formats, esp. not on iOS.)

+1. I'm with Jens that the crypto libraries are lacking in so many ways. In iOS I feel they got 1/3 ported and instead of finishing the port, the OSX team just deprecated what wasn't ported. I'm not really sure I expect that crypto example to work much longer. They are truly horrible to work with.

If you ask a similar question to the original poster on any of the Apple Developer Forums you'll be advised not to generate key pairs on a device but to do it on a server (the advice will probably come from Quinn), that's what I eventually did, at least it was supported and I wasn't trying to embed openssl v ?.x.? in my code.
